Stacey Solomon made a “breaking news” announcement on social media today.
The Loose Women panellist, 34, has previously been likened to gardening expert Charlie Dimmock as she attempts to grow a garden vegetable patch and has since made a discovery.
The mum-of-five captioned her Instagram Story: “Good morning from the veg patch with some breaking news.”
She told her followers: “Morning… I’m letting the ducks have a little nibble. I’m hoping in the future they will be my slug control. They’re so cute.
“Oh my gosh, we’ve got breaking news from the patch today. Against all of the odds, I’ve got a broccoli growing. I can’t believe it. I thought after the deer had come they had it.”
The Sort Your Life Out star revealed last month she had found her vegetable patch had been “robbed” and was left devastated when her broccoli was nowhere to be seen, with just stalks left behind.
Stacey worried about what to tell her son Rex, four, as she told the camera: “Devastated, send help. What do I tell Rex?”
She vented: “I’ve been robbed, I’ve been robbed. Oh my god, it’s so bad. I don’t even want to look at it. I’m absolutely devastated.
“The deer, and it must be deer because I don’t know anything that could do what they’ve done to my veg.”
But much to her delight things are turning around as she continues to work on the family’s vegetable patch.
Meanwhile, Stacey was left overcome with emotion as she penned a special tribute to her beau on Father’s Day (June 19).
The Loose Women presenter shared the emotional clip that she had created for her other half to her Instagram grid. She collated clips of Joe caring for his children – Rex, Rose and Belle – as she added Jessica Baio’s Someday.
The post was captioned: “I never got to meet your dad. But he must have been the best dad in the world to have created you. Honestly Joe, you do your dad proud every single minute of every day.
“You’re the most incredible father. We are the luckiest. To the moon & back Joe Joe.”
